Journal Junction for January 21st

For all the die-hard liberals, your Democratic leaders keep proving they only care about power. {span}Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez{/span} is a major player of the Democratic Party now.

From Hedgesville:

President Donald Trump wanted nearly $6 billion to build the great wall from sea to sea. Now he says it won’t be 2,000 miles long from sea to sea, but just some steel barriers in strategic places. Yet he still needs the $6 billion. Shouldn’t it cost far less or is he just obsessed with billions of dollars? The math doesn’t add up here.

From Martinsburg:

Sen. Mitch McConnell has been blocking bills to reopen the government while all along using the excuse that the president will veto them. Will someone please explain to McConnell what overriding a veto is so we can get back to work? Now whose fault is the shutdown? Oh, that’s right, Fox News and Rush Limbaugh somehow blame the Democrats even after President Donald Trump said he was responsible.

From Hedgesville:

Of course Democrats don’t say “vote for me so I can let more illegals into the country to ultimately become Democrats and keep us in power.” They say: Eliminate ICE, come to sanctuary cites/states, citizenship for illegals (DACA), and you’re racist if you’re against illegals.

From Martinsburg:

To the misinformed Morgan County person regarding how much teachers work: First of all, they are off only two months — and they are unpaid then just like all those other holidays you mentioned. Plus, during their unpaid summers, most are either working second jobs or taking graduate classes — at their personal expense — so that they may stay current in their field. Likewise, while many “nine-to-five” workers go home empty-handed, most teachers spend unpaid hours prepping for their classes.

From Morgan County:

In response to the callers in Hedgesville and Morgan County: Teachers know what it is when they take one of these jobs, as do law enforcement and soldiers, but teachers are the only ones I hear whining and complaining publicly.

From Charles Town:

It is time to re-open the government and get rid of President Donald Trump.
